A fantastic
piece to teach vowels,
diction, rhythms, and
pitch precision, this
English folk song, titled
Leatherwing Bat, is fun
to sing and impressive to
perform. The nonsense
syllables represent birds
and bats chatting to one
another in a rhythmic,
witty fashion that your
students will love to
sing. Also available for
Three-Part Mixed Voices
(CM9595), Two-Part Treble
Voices (BL1102), and SATB
Voices
(BL1153).
Leatherwing
Bat is the original name
of this traditional folk
song. Folklore has always
thought of the animals
with human
characteristics,
including the power of
speech. Even Mark Twain
once commented that there
was no question about the
ability of animals to
talk to each other. The
question was whether or
not very many people
could understand them.
This folk song is about
the bat and birds
chatting to each other
about love. Phonetic
pronunciation suggestion:
Hahee-dih-dahoo,
dee-dih-dul-uhm-dehee
Heh-lee-lee,
lih-lahee-lih-loh.
